A car park blighted by drug paraphernalia, human faeces and piles of rubbish has had nearly £50,000 spent on cleaning it up, say the landlords.

Images from the St Mark's Road multi-storey car park in Wrexham showed needles and litter discarded at the site near the Island Green shopping complex.

Residents and councillors, including lead member for the environment Cllr David Bithell, had criticised the "unacceptable" state of the privately run car park and raised concerns that drug takers would not be found if they died at the car park due to the lack of lighting and patrols.
